Twelve Whole Months
I've got several activities planned today as I celebrate the first anniversary of CoolDad Music. Things have already gotten under way as I've fed CoolDog and CoolDaughter #1 their breakfast. CoolDaughter #2 should be waking up soon, and she'll be joining in the fun by getting ready for school and enjoying her own morning meal.
The day will be full of things like conference calls, dog walks, and my telling myself I'm going to go running and then not going. Then, this evening will ramp things up when I pack everyone into the minivan to take them to their dance class. I'll head home to make dinner. CoolMom will get home from work, and I'll ask her if she would mind terribly if I went to see The Men and Parquet Courts on Thursday night.
The glamorous life of a CoolDad.
In all seriousness, I've loved doing this over the last year. CoolMom and the rest of my family have been extremely understanding as I've fueled my little vanity project by attending show after show and by boring them all with my constant chatter about bands and blogging. I've met some very cool people through this blog, including Chris and Mike at Speak Into My Good Eye, first-ever CoolDad Music contest winner @scotchlarock, and some of the artists whose music keeps me going on a daily basis.
Self-promotion warning: I'd love to grow CoolDad Music over the next twelve months. If you'd like to give me a blog-versary gift (none required), then use those little buttons below each of the posts to share and like anything you find interesting, past or present.

Thanks so much for reading. Come say hi at a show one of these days. I'll buy you a beverage.

ReplyDeleteI've known you (and liked you) so long that I can't help liking whatever you do. If I ever manage to rouse my blog out of hibernation, I'll do my best to drive my half-dozen readers here. :)
ReplyDeletePS First version had a typo. Can't have that.
I actually lose sleep at night over typos. Never knew I was so OCD.
